Identity & Branding
Spread your identity more than ever.
Mastering a brand’s image is crucial for ensuring its longevity and maintaining consistency across all platforms. In the age of social networks, a brand engages in continuous interaction with its audience, where its image can be shared, amplified, or even distorted. To navigate this dynamic landscape, establishing a robust and coherent social branding charter is imperative.
This charter must be both well-constructed and adaptable, designed to meet varying constraints and the demands of multiple platforms. It should be firmly rooted in the company’s core values and codes, providing a strong foundation. By carefully aligning the elements of communication and identity, the charter preserves the brand’s integrity in an increasingly open and interconnected world.

Let's meet and talk about it.
Building a complete social branding strategy requires a multifaceted approach. It begins by aligning the brand’s messaging and posture with a clearly defined positioning, tone, and content strategy, all of which stem from the brand platform. This strategy must be versatile, adapting to a wide range of formats, from animated media like videos or carousel thumbnails to static elements like banners and profile icons, all tailored to the specific demands of social platforms. The graphic elements of the social branding charter must be thoughtfully designed, whether through a diverse set of iconographies or a focused use of illustrations, ensuring consistency and alignment with the brand’s identity as captured in the brand book.
To effectively guide the strategy and execution, it’s essential to first solidify the content strategy and strategic planning, identifying the elements that will best represent the brand on social platforms. Social network dynamics often lead to a homogenization of brand identities, but we advocate for leveraging the brand’s unique characteristics to establish a distinct and compelling differentiation. The editorial charter plays a pivotal role, shaping a tone that is as integral to the brand’s identity as its visual design.
Target analysis is critical in this process, as it informs the types of content to be published and ensures that the graphic charter aligns with the content strategy. Finally, the concept of engaging in a dialogue with diverse audiences should guide social branding decisions, recognizing that users, through their interaction with the brand, become an extension of its identity by adopting and creating content around its codes.
